"New Year's Resolution - Spend Time More Wisely"

Singer/Songwriter (/Author) David Crowder recently posted this video on his blog with only one line above it...

new year's resolution - spend time more wisely.

Recently, my thoughts have resonated with his. I'm coming to realize not everything I enjoy doing is particularly productive. My schedule is filling up here -- more and more every day. So, in order to survive and carry this expatted-year out well, I've got to make some changes.

I'm slow to make decisions, though, and generally want to try it out before I buy.

That said, I've got to take a break. So if we were once Facebook friends, and now you don't know why, I've deleted my profile for awhile (I'm sure I'll be back eventually). And if I used to comment on your blog more than I do now, it's because I've taken a step back on that as well.

Don't worry, it's not permanent. Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I adjust to the next period of my time here in Taiwan.

Productivity is definitely a goal of mine for 2009! Funny because my new years resolution for 2008 was to “slow down”. –I may have over done it a bit ;) We have tons going on right now – namely packing and getting everything in place to move! But I’ll prolly get to the place where I need to disappear from facebook, too – but right now I’m new and it’s way too much fun. One of these days Ill pop over here and read your whole blog! I actually signed up for a blogspot but never did anything with it. – hmm and now all of my resolution slots are full for this year – maybe I’ll engage in bloggin in 2010!

I completely understand what you're saying, I've gone through similar stages where I just shut off my cell phone and get rid of some of the cords that keep me "connected" 24/7. It can become so overwhelming!

I in turn apologize for not visiting as frequently lately due to settling in India, but I'm more aclimated now, and so I'll be stopping by... I hope everything works out for you.

Chase, goooood idea to balance busy daily life...I'm back from Aussie trip, amazing! and it was great to be out of emailing/blogging - no problem at all!Now I'm trying to get my friends back to my blogs - you too!Few new photos already and more coming soon!
